Erlang doesnt want to quit

[HEINRICH VENTER]

Hi

I am having a very strange problem (OTP 8).  I start an erlang node with a boot script.  It executes an application and everything is fine.  When I want to quit the appliction I type q(). at the shell command prompt.  I get the response ok and the shell and application just continues executing.
Any ideas what could cause this??
